Wholesale Pricing: 10-Unit Minimum, Up to 70% Off
Bulk orders start at just 10 flags, making wholesale accessible to small businesses, events, and organizations of all sizes. Unlike many wholesale programs requiring 25, 50, or 100 units minimum, our 10-unit entry point means even a small business ordering its first custom flags gets 30% off, which is better pricing than many competitors offer at 50+ units. At the high end, the 70% discount at 1,000+ units delivers distributor-level pricing to any business customer.

Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided Wholesale Pricing
Single-sided flags print the design on one side of the fabric. The image shows through to the reverse side as a mirror image, typically at 70 to 80% color intensity. This is the standard for most flags and offers the best value, making it ideal for decorative purposes, one-directional viewing, and budget-conscious projects.
Double-sided flags feature two separate fabric panels sewn together, each printed with the design facing outward, displaying correctly from both sides with full color intensity. This construction requires more material and ink, which is why discounts are 10 percentage points lower at every tier. Double-sided flags make sense for storefronts visible from both street directions, directional and wayfinding signage where text must read correctly from both approaches, and text-heavy designs where reverse-image bleed-through would be confusing. They still receive up to 60% off at high volumes, making them cost-effective when two-sided visibility matters.
Stock Flags vs. Custom Flags
Wholesale buyers can purchase stock flags in bulk or invest in custom designs. Both options start at our 10-unit minimum.
Stock flags ship in 1 to 3 days with no setup fees, proven designs with established demand, and easy reordering without design approval. You can mix and match different designs in one order.
Custom flags provide brand differentiation, logo integration, exclusive inventory, and event-specific designs. Our custom flag design service streamlines creation. For design guidance, see our complete custom flag design guide.
Available Sizes and Customization
Wholesale flags are available in multiple sizes, from 12x18 inch garden flags to 2x3 ft, 3x5 ft (the most popular), 4x6 ft, 5x8 ft, and custom non-standard dimensions. All flags use durable polyester with options for weight, finishing (grommets, sleeves, tabs), and single or double-sided printing. For a full overview of feather flag options popular with marketing teams and event planners, see our custom feather flags guide.

Step 3: Design approval (custom orders). Review digital proofs for accuracy. We include multiple revision rounds in base pricing.
Step 4: Production. Delivery timelines: standard orders (10 to 15 days), and rush orders (5 to 9 days).
Step 5: Delivery. Choose from ground shipping (most economical) or express shipping.
Maximizing Your Wholesale Savings
- Watch tier breaks: Ordering 50 instead of 45 units jumps from 30% to 40% discount. Check if a few extra units reach the next tier, as the savings often exceed the added cost
- Consolidate orders: Combine needs across departments or locations to reach higher tiers (200+ units = 50% off)
- Plan ahead: Rush orders cost 15 to 30% more. Plan months ahead for seasonal needs and avoid premium fees
- Mix printing types: Use double-sided for high-visibility storefronts and signage, single-sided for decorative or one-directional applications
- Start small: Test with 10 units before scaling. Request samples before large orders to verify quality and appearance
